In reference to the re-release Bryan Litz, Author and Founder of Applied Ballistics says,” “Given different sets of environmental and shooter related uncertainties, what are the ‘chances’ of hitting a target at a certain range? Ballistics commonly focuses on generating an accurate fire solution which is important, but there’s much more to learn and apply from the science of accuracy. A lot of analysis is presented in the book, which demonstrates valuable principles, but those analysis are static. The Applied Ballistics Analytics software is a program which allows you to calculate hit percentages for your specific rifle and target scenarios using the same method as the calculations in the book. Armed with the knowledge in the book, and the AB Analytics software, you’re empowered with a realistic understanding of your hit probability on any target, and what things you can do to improve it” Some of the specific topics affecting your shot include range, wind, muzzle velocity, rifle precision from various distances and target size. The book will help you determine your probability of hitting a target with your specific rifle and uncertain variables coming into play as well as how to put together a good rifle and ammo system given specific scenarios.
